2. Is this a legal or practical question? Yes, he can DO whatever he wants - but it would be illegal.

7. I wasn't expecting this question for at least another 24 hours
No and he's not going to do so either even if he might like to do so.
Sheesh.
This isn't a movie, it's the real world.
Don't bother telling me I'm naive, it would be a waste of your time.

8. They can try.
I sure as hell won't let that happen without a fight. And by fight, I mean gun battle.

10. No, Ma'am, He Cannot
Persons who derive enjoyment from voluntarily subjecting themselves to fright would do well to avail themselves of the many opportunities for this offered by the entertainment industry: that is what it is there for.

11. Bu$hitCo will bring several constitutional crises to this country in its last 2 years.
Have no doubt, they are not going quietly into that good night. It would probably depend on how subservient the DLC/K-street Dem bitches will/can be to the corporate agenda. Rahm, Schumer and many other MSM suckups are trying to downplay the role of the progressive netroots in many of the wins. It makes those who hold the purse strings very nervous!

Get $$$ out of politics and fix out vote and media. Take back the Democratic party, as the party of Jefferson, of "WE THE PEOPLE"!! Step by step it will be, must be, done or this country will not survive what is coming.
